The world's highest recorded temperature was in the Sahara, where it reached 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit in Libya. However, the reading was thrown out as it was concluded the most compelling scenario for the 1922 event was that a new and inexperienced observer, not trained in the use of an unsuitable replacement instrument that could be easily misread, inproperly recorded the observation and was consequently in error by about seven degrees Celsius. A temperature of 134 degrees F. measured in Death Valley in 1913 holds the official record.
